judd1552 Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 06/03/2013 11:27 pm I own several of the small diameter silver N.Y.Ag. Society medals, having lived in Western New York and collected them for several years. I don't know of a better way to research this other than to obtain a copy of the N.Y. Ag. Society journal for the year 1857. It would likely have more detailed info on the awardee. Other options include researching contemporary business directories from Buffalo and surrounding cities. Perhaps even checking the Federal census reports of 1850 & 1860 would provide a lead. If you ever decide to part with this medal, I would appreciate your notice. Report this Post to the Staff
